maybe i need to plug it into the aux plug rather than the cdrom plug on my sound card. When I first started installing the thing I was unable to get any sound out of either. after playing with some configurations I found on line I was able to get some sound to work with it in the cd input so I was pretty much happy with that at the time and never thought to try moveing it to the aux port. I haven't had much time to fiddle with it but it is working enough to be able to watch tv while I surft the web.
